Four Seasons in Nagano

Sunshine falls and reflects flickeringly over the Chikuma River，

which rises deep in the Northern Alps，winds its course here，

flowing slowly and spaciously，shining like amber in the sun，

on whose bosom touch the transparent breeze sent down

from tops of the surrounding mountains;

These elements fused into Nature of Nagano City

have produced a beautiful landscape of Nagano City.

Whenever I visit Nagano City，in spring，summer，fall and winter，

I feel touched and moved by the luminous space and clear light，

and my heart responds to it overjoyed.

This work was produced through my impression of mountains

and the river in Nagano City.
